FAA Part 107 waiver and BVLOS data sources compared (October 2026)
Ways to get the list of FAA Part 107 waiver holders (BVLOS, over people, night, altitude) as of 2026-10-22.
Disclosure: this page is written by johto.data, which makes one of the tools listed. Apify prices are each listing's pay-per-event list price for the Apify FREE plan tier, pulled from the public Apify Store API (api.apify.com/v2/store) on 2026-10-22; paid Apify plans get small tier discounts. Prices change, so check each link before buying. We list what each vendor states; we did not benchmark their data quality.

Use FAA's own page to look up a handful of operators. Use johto.data/faa-drone-data when you need the whole active list as JSON, filtered by waived rule, date or keyword, or want an AI agent to query it. We found no other Apify Actor for Part 107 waivers on 2026-10-22.

- Freshness: live per call vs. a scheduled file.
- Delivery: REST call, MCP tool for AI agents, or an emailed file.
- Source: official data you can verify, vs. a third-party aggregator.
